Do We Love Each Other Much?



We both need a better love. We both want a purer touch.
We both seek a higher plain.
We don't love each other much.
We both need a deeper love. We both want a warmer touch.
We both seek a greater joy.
We don't love each other much.
We both need a freer love. We both want a nicer touch.
We both seek a wider berth.
We don't love each other much.
We both need a stronger love. We both want a finer touch.
We both seek a sweeter kiss.
We don't love each other much.
We both need a fairer love. We both want a softer touch.
We both seek a dearer friend.
We don't love each other much.
We both need a longer love. We both want a kinder touch.
We both seek a tighter hug.
We don't love each other much.
